I don't have the exact name, but it's a small pebbled leather Hamptons Hobo made in 2004.

It's authentic from 2004. I don't know the exact name but it's something like a Hamptons perforated pebbled leather hobo.

ETA: I think it's a Hamptons leather small hobo:

Hi there!

Can someone authenticate this creed? Thanks!!

Some Coach authenticity guides say that unreadable/faded creeds are considered to be a red flag. Would you agree? For example, the bag in this listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-Black-9870-Leather-Bag-/172050989756

The creed is very faded on the right side - does that meant the bag is not authentic?

I bought the Oliver bag with the shortened backwards strap:
Thank you all who helped me out with that: beenburned, catbird9, whateve, Hyacinth....

I did manage to turn the strap by prying apart the gold pieces that attach it to the purse. Now it is at least on the correct way.

I purchased it off of eBay for $27.77 from a seller that has very few sales.

I am ok with the shorter strap & since it was so little money I will keep it. I am using it for personal use not to resell.

I will let the seller know about the issue.

Thanks again, Christine

1. Red Station bag

I don't think the red station bag in my post just above works. So her is the link again

Please authenticate
http://m.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Coach-Red-Leather-Classic-Station-cross-body-Bag-/252240703192?nav=WATCHING_ACTIVE

Not sure if this one works either? Here is the creed.

A creed can't be authenticated without photos of the rest of the bag.

And no, just because a creed is more "faded" or maybe worn down? on one side doesn't mean it's fake.

It looks ok to me.

The tan one in post 11737 also looks ok.

Thanks for the response! The eBay bag is authentic, then?

I will dig up some other photos for the creed.

Hi
I was looking to buy f36375. But why the logo differs?

 

[Hyacinth]

I will dig up some other photos for the creed.

I don't see any problems with it.

 

[Catbird9]

ETA I own the bag

 

[Christinern]

What color is this called?

Also is there a way to find out the year it was made? I don't think the creed from these earlier bags tell me. (Is that correct)
